At Fundamentals Family Learning Studio, a team of CDA- and Commonwealth Child Care–certified staff members keep close watch over whippersnappers, engaging them in stimulating activities while their parents enjoy a night out. Within the vibrantly colored hardwood-floored studio chock-full of toys and games, lads and lasses can spend an evening mingling with peers while parents indulge in grownup pastimes, such as attending a show or an all-you-can-eat asparagus buffet. Experienced CPR-trained staff members scrupulously supervise little ones split up into small groups as they whip up culinary masterpieces in the play kitchen, relax and watch movies, and recreate Rembrandt's Night Watch during arts-and-crafts sessions. Infants and toddlers cavort in a separate room with age-appropriate toys and snooze in a quiet napping zone, and older kids romp virtually with computer games.

Mark Landis Photography's experienced team of shutterbugs capture flattering portraits in a full-service studio flanked by gardens and a rushing waterfall. Camera wielders usher in guests for 15-minute headshot sessions, guiding subjects’ heads and shoulders through a range of complementary poses. After the photo session, a basic facial retouching clears up one image of your choice, removing bunny ears and preparing the photo for public consumption. The retouched photo makes its way to clients via email or CD in JPEG form along with reproduction rights, allowing subjects to use their shot for promotional use or to forge a flashier-looking passport.
